>Please talk me out of buying a Rich GRs
No. Buy more gear. Never stop buying gear. When you die, have it be because you were buried under a mountain of cameras, lenses, flashes, and miscellaneous accessories. Then, and only then, will you make it to Photographer Heaven with Henri Cartier Bresson and Ansel Adams and Terry Richardson's career.

it's just a film camera

they're all the same

>muh microcontrast
>muh snap focus
>muh moriyama

it's a fucking camera. moriyama uses a nikon point and shoot now because he finally realised it's all the same shit and doesn't make a difference.

All that being said, I've always wanted one. The size and shape seem amazing and the lens is nice. If they weren't so unreliable and expensive I'd consider it.

Spend your money on a T2 or a couple MJUii's instead.

it was a reasonably good crop sensor in an unergonomic, slow, poorly thought out body. it was outperformed but almost every other crop body already on the market.

wow photography will never be the same again

Is something like the Konica Hexar a good alternative?

They break on you, that’s about it. Do you really want to spend that amount of money on something that you know will break?

For me personally I'd take the hexar over the GR. Not that I've shot with either, but based on what I've read over the years.

Buy a ~$100 point and shit and spend the rest on a mountain of fucking film.

Buy one of these cocksuckers for <$100 if you want a Ricoh meme.

Man, I've got an A6000 coming in the mail today which I bought literally because I had a dream on Christmas that I found one for cheap in a thrift store and I woke up not being able to deal with the fact that it wasn't reality.

I joke, but we're brothers in gearfaggotry, you and I.

More power to you, that'll be a fun camera to play around with. Brothers in arms, at least.

LCD and the motor that winds the film. The lens may stop retracting, shutter can give out... a bunch of stuff really, they're known for being quite fragile.
